Madison Saracen Factory Race Team

In 2011 we created the Madison Saracen Factory Race Team to develop British talent and now our Myst has won men’s and women’s elite world cup races!

After nearly a decade of development influenced by the fastest racers in the world, our full carbon platform is available in 29er and 27.5 configurations… and just watch this space for a mullet bike!

We’ll never forget our roots as privateer racers and that’s why we use the same race-winning suspension platform in our more affordable aluminium Myst, leaving you with cash for fresh tyres, more uplifts and a few beers.

In 2020 our squad contains a pair of homegrown world champions and a newcomer eager to learn from the best.

Danny Hart

Ever since his legendary 2011 world championship winning run in Champery, Danny Hart’s reputation as a British downhill hero was assured – but he didn’t stop there.

The Redcar Rocket regained the rainbow jersey in a standout 2016 campaign, which featured a hat trick of world cup wins.

Since swinging his leg over a Saracen, Danny has stepped onto the world cup podium nine times and in 2019, Danny took his first world cup win for Madison Saracen, making history with the Myst’s first ever elite men’s world cup win.

We’re hoping 2020 holds more of the same…

Matt Walker

One of Britain’s most exciting prospects, Matt Walker stepped onto the world cup podium in only his second season of elite competition.

Fifth in Maribor showed a first glimpse of Matt’s ability and intent, and with several top-10 world cup results already to his name, the best is still to come.

Junior world champion in 2017, Matt joined the factory team after four years on our development programme.

Jordan Williams

After a promising first season in the youth category, including victory at a round of the British
downhill series, Jordan continues his development.

In 2020 the domestic calendar will form the core of Jordan’s racing, however he will also have
further opportunities.

Jordan will join us in the pits at select world cup events to learn how Danny, Matt and the team
operate at the highest level of the sport. We’re hoping this gives our youngest racer the chance to
prepare for the next steps in his racing career and underlines our commitment of providing every
opportunity for the next generation of British downhill.
